    I'm considering selling my project classic Mini Cooper, this isn't a giveway.  What I'm looking for is $4500.00 or more.  Not less.   So, what do you get for all that hard earned money?   A shell from an early Mini(mkI 59' to 66'), am guessing it was around a 62'(full front valance, no seat belt mounts, 4 vent floors, etc...def pre 64')  title for a 59'(This is going to be a corect re-shell, the donor was crashed and rusted worse than this one),  A+ 1275cc engine with rod change trans from a 73', nearly complete with LCB header, big SU carb(probably an HIF44), K&N filter, electronic ignition distributer, 12 volt alternator, supposedly running but a bit smokey on deceleration when it was removed (Mini club member swapped it for a V-tec vs. rebuilding) A series 1000cc with cooper head and remote trans(it was my intention to put the A+ motor on the remote trans, this would be the slick setup without investing BIG bucks in KAD and Jack Knight) Full set of Guages with lots of extras 10" Cooper S reverse wheels, freshly powder coated plain white with lots of tread on some Bridgestone tires(Yokohama A008's are preffered, but these will get you there) Freshly powder coated rear subframe (original is toast, somebody tried to pull car from the rear x-member, bent it up pretty bad) 2 sets of salvageable doors, one set mkI, other is MKII 2 hoods, one is definitely mkI, other is a unknown Full set of glass, including the VERY hard to find rear window (mkI had smaller rear glass than mkII and later) LOTS of parts, wholly mackeral I've got a gang of parts I've acquired over the last 2 years...carbs, flywheel, radiators, seats, too much to list.  Seriously. ...so, thats the fun stuff, now the bad... The trunk floor isnt there, it was rusting and somebody (not me) cut most of it out, no tire well, no battery box, just a big gaping hole.  It will need a replacement (available from British Motor Heritage) or some a good metal fab skills and make your own. Small spots of rust, shouldn't be to big a deal for a body guy to work out. 

    NO wiring 

    NO trim.  None, whatsoever.  If you want a concours original Mini, this may not be a good idea, it will cost more than its worth to get everything lined up.  I was going to go the path of resto-mod, re-create this car im my own likeness, straight auto-cross rocket.  Of course, if you buy it, you can do whatever you like! 

     

    This isn’t going to be an easy project, I don’t recommend this for the timid.  But if you know what the time is, then you know this is going to be on bad ass little car when its done

     

    Thanks for reading,

    Rob G
